How is RGIII?

[Crazed Bengal]

I didn't see the second half of the game and only just read about his knee injury. Will he be ok and ready to go next year? Any news on how he's doing?

I pray he's ok and just tweaked an old injury. That man is a great quarterback and all around football player. All my prayers are going out to him tonight.

Likely won't know until the next few days. If he had fully torn something I don't think he would have been out on the sidelines walking around like he was. The sprain that he had, though a bad one, is something he will recover from in a matter of weeks. Hopefully in time for spring training. They need to send him down with the Nationals so the coaches there can teach him how to slide.

One of the talking heads on NFLN (Faulk I think) sait it looked like an MCL to him on that bad snap when he finally left the game.

He's going to get an MRI.

The bad thing about this injury is that his knee buckled inward.

That means that it's either ACL or MCL or both. Judging from the way it bent I would guess MCL I'm hoping for grade 1 or 2 strain at most on those ligaments and no surgery.

Since it didn't bend that far inward it could also be a dislocated or subluxed patella which also would be unlikely to require surgery.

But yeah...

Pic of injury if anyone wants to look at it again:

He should be good to go for next season I think.

Looks pretty horrific to me. And he had his weight on it this time, unlike the last one. Just about the worst way we could have lost tonight.

Actually the team needs to send Shanahan down to talk to Coach Johnson to learn a few things about saving your star.

But the brace should have kept things from moving too far and keep them from tearing. That's what it was already there for.

Guys if you could answer this it would be appreciated, what hit lead to RG3 being really injured in this game? Was it the cheap shop from Irvin?

[PleaseGoForTheWin]

I just hope he's OK with some rest and rehab. And, for next year, I hope that both he and the coaches are more effective at keeping him healthy. No unnecessary hits in the middle of games on small gains, no unnecessary 1 yard scrambles when he can throw the ball away, and slide feet first instead of diving head first so often.

I'm looking forward to a healthy (Orakpo, Carriker, Merriweather) team and some new draft/FA talent making a run next year. Use the success from this year to grow.

The one thing going for RG3 is the brace. When he went down it bent the wrong way for sure. Hopefully the brace stopped or limited the damage. I guess we'll know by tomorrow or Tuesday for sure.

I think it was around the start of the second quarter when he ran the ball to the outside on the right and got rolled on by a few Seahawk defenders.

Listen to his post-game conference. He did not rule out torn ACL. I think he tore his ACL, although he was walking around on the sideline after the injury.

[Smooters]

He should be ready in time for the superbowl.

[Vrikk]

He sounded fine right now on 980. Said he wasn't injured. Just hurt.

Unfortunately I've gotta agree. It looked really bad
